The 26-year-old would be hoping to stay injury-free after spending most of last season on the sidelines due to knocks.

Having battled various injury setbacks last season, the Ghana international finally netted his first goal in over a year to secure an important victory over Royal Antwerp in the Belgium Pro League.
Ashimeru was handed a new deal just before the start of the season following his importance to the team since joining them from Red Bull Salzburg in 2021.
He started in the season opener against STVV as Anderlecht netted late to beat their opponents.
However, he came off the bench against Antwerp to score his first of the campaign, which was also the winner.
